Resources To Start Off Your Week 75

I am both excited and nervous as I write this post as it is my LAST Resources To Start Off Your Week post before I am back at school. Next week I begin my new teacher orientation although students will not return to classes until September 5th. When I first started these posts in January of 2011 I never thought that I'd still be doing them when I was preparing my first classroom! As always, I will be adding these to my ever-growing list of resources under the Fav Websites heading.

1 ) Math is Fun- This website is a one-stop-shop for your math class. It features online lessons, practice questions, games and more!- I've linked to this website in quite a few of my math units because their online lessons are a great resource for students to review at home for extra practice or if they missed the in-class lesson.- http://www.mathsisfun.com/

2 ) Wonderground- This "modern day treasure hunt" allows users to explore various American cities to discover the vast connections between history, technology, and innovation.- Through interactive maps, articles, 360 degree images, and videos, users can explore some of the most amazing features of these cities and make connections to their lives.- This website could be a really neat addition to a social studies classroom or provide a good basis for students who are wanting to learn more about these communities!- http://gewonderground.com/

3 ) ASAP Science YouTube Channel- This YouTube Channel posts weekly Science videos that are perfect for engaging students in the subject. Featuring over 50 videos, this channel posts everything from The Science of Aging and Amazing Facts to Blow Your Mind to The Science of Super Heroes and Which Came First: The Chicken or The Egg?- These videos could be really good for activating students interest and/or engaging students who may not like Science class.- http://www.youtube.com/user/AsapSCIENCE?feature=watch
